I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 322 Hope Amidst the Ruins

Just as Erin frowned slightly.

Seventh Uncle, who was about ten meters away, directing a group of young men from the Loyalty Hall to rescue a mother and daughter trapped in the mezzanine of a collapsed building, twitched his left ear slightly, as if he had heard something.

He instantly turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came.

The moment he saw Erin, his somewhat cloudy eyes lit up.

For Erin.

The seventh uncle, who was the head of the Zhongyi Hall, was both familiar and unfamiliar.

The reason he became familiar with Ai Lin was because of the Water Ghost Gang and Yuan Li's affairs. Uncle Qi had basically investigated Ai Lin's past and his ancestors for eighteen generations.

Because of the Chung Yee Tong's century-long presence in Chinatown, he knew Erin, who grew up in Chinatown, very well.

However, it is precisely because of this familiarity and understanding that Uncle Seven feels even more unfamiliar with the changes that have taken place in Erin over the past few months.

After the Water Ghost Gang incident.

That once ordinary Chinese child seemed to have been given a cheat code, and his whole being underwent a dramatic transformation.

In just a few months, he somehow gained extraordinary power, earning him the title of Miracle Magician.

Even their net worth is skyrocketing in an astonishing way.

From an ordinary person who had amassed some wealth due to the legacy of his elders.

In the blink of an eye, he became a medical genius who developed a miracle drug, and in just a few months, he amassed a fortune of tens of billions, becoming a big shot that even the federal president had to take seriously.

This change.

This even made Uncle Seven feel a deep sense of apprehension towards Ailin.

Having lived for decades and experienced many ups and downs, Uncle Qi knew very well that this change was extremely abnormal.

This is precisely why, whether it's due to Erin's current power or the various troubles that may be hidden behind him.

Since then, Uncle Qi has strictly forbidden the people of Zhongyi Hall from contacting Ailin, fearing that they might be drawn into some earth-shattering conspiracy that would destroy the foundation that Zhongyi Hall has built up over a century.

But today.

Seventh Uncle, however, took the initiative to lean on his cane and walked quickly toward Erin.

Although he was old and his behavior was somewhat rigid and old-fashioned.

However, Uncle Seven was well aware of Erin's current power, and even more so of the miraculous potion and the amazing biological healing chamber that had caused such a stir and shocked the world some time ago.

Because the members of the Loyalty Hall often had injuries that were inconvenient to treat in the hospital, Uncle Seven specially asked someone to order three biological therapy chambers from the Miracle Group.

However, there were orders from the federal military and violent agencies like S.H.I.E.L.D. that came before them.

The Chung Yee Tong gang, which at best only has some influence in Chinatown, has orders that are already booked for who knows how long.

That's why, upon hearing the words "treatment chamber" and "repair fluid," Uncle Qi quickly turned his gaze over.

What he heard from Erin made Seventh Uncle's breathing quicken.

In today's battle that has swept through New York, Chinatown has suffered immense damage, with countless houses affected and destroyed.

The number of dead and injured residents is also horrific.

Aside from the neighbors in the Chung Yi Tong territory who paid their "membership fees" on time, many of the Chung Yi Tong members' families also suffered.

If Erin really did, as he said on the phone, send a large number of biological treatment chambers and miracle drugs to Chinatown.

With many hospitals destroyed by war and medical resources scarce, those miracle drugs and biological treatment pods have become lifesavers.

For the neighbors who regularly pay "membership fees" to the Chung Yi Tong, and for the families of the young men from the Chung Yi Tong.

Seventh Uncle also set aside his usual reservations, leaning on his cane, and quickly walked to Erin's side, saying:

"If it's about clearing roadblocks, the young men from our Zhongyi Hall and the neighbors can all lend a hand!"

Ok.

Looking at his seventh uncle who appeared in front of him, Erin's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but before his seventh uncle could feel uneasy for long, Erin smiled and nodded.

"it is good."

···········

At the call of Seventh Uncle.

More than forty strong men rushed out of the Loyalty Hall and, following the route of the Miracle Group's convoy, began clearing the streets in front of Chinatown of abandoned cars, collapsed houses, fallen GG signs, and other debris that had caused congestion.

Because Seventh Uncle had spread the word in advance about the batch of biological treatment chambers and miracle potions that Erin had brought, the burly men responsible for clearing the road had no complaints and were full of energy.

They didn't even need anyone to urge them; they were all incredibly proactive.

This is not only for the residents of Chinatown, but also for their own families.

Many of their families were injured in the war.

Some of their injuries were life-threatening.

At times like these.

The biotherapy pods and miraculous drugs from the Miracle Corporation, which had not yet arrived, became their family's lifeline.

Looking into the distance, at those burly men with bloodshot eyes.

Seventh Uncle sighed from afar.

This is all the old man like me can do for you.

Thinking of this, the seemingly old Seventh Uncle, with a shameless grin, walked towards Erin once more.

"Mr. Lin, the young men who helped clear the roads all have family members who were injured in this disaster, some even in critical condition. Could you please give their families priority for treatment, considering how hard they worked? Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. Zhongyi Hall is willing to pay double for the biological treatment chamber and repair fluid."

Looking at the once imposing and awe-inspiring Seventh Uncle of the Loyal and Righteous Hall, now standing before him with unusual humility.

An indescribable feeling inexplicably rose within Erin's heart.

After a few seconds of silence.

Ailin nodded amidst the somewhat uneasy expression on his seventh uncle's face.

"Once the Miracle Group's convoy arrives, their families will have priority access to treatment, which they deserve. But let's forget about the money. I didn't bring these things here for the money in the first place."

···········

After receiving a positive reply from Erin.

The group of Zhongyitang disciples responsible for cleaning the streets worked even harder.

Because every minute they clear a path for life earlier means their family members can receive treatment a minute earlier.

As news gradually spread...

More and more Chinatown residents spontaneously joined the street cleanup effort, racing against time to clear a vital passage for the incoming relief supplies.

of course.

During this time, some Black people living near Chinatown, after receiving the news, demanded that Erin give them half of the aid, threatening to sue Miracle Corporation for racial discrimination if they refused.

However, before they could get close to Erin, they were still in danger.

A large group of Chinese people, who were waiting for this batch of miraculous medicine to save their injured family members, covered the mouths of the black people and dragged them to the ruins of a nearby alley, led by some members of the Zhongyi Hall.

A few soft screams followed.

More bodies appeared in the ruins of that collapsed alley.

Not all overseas Chinese who manage to survive in the Federation are as kind as they appear on the surface.

Aside from those situations where they rushed into the alleyways.

Some residents even took the initiative to destroy all the available surveillance equipment in the vicinity.

Without surveillance cameras, who can prove that the bodies in the alley weren't unfortunate civilians who died accidentally in the battle?

"Too rough!"

Looking at the work these people were doing, Uncle Qi shook his head in dissatisfaction.

next second.

The person in charge of cleaning up in Zhongyi Hall took out his tools and cleaned the scene again.

···········

at the same time.

In order to define the nature of this major battle as soon as possible, and to give an explanation to people from all walks of life.

The federal government, together with the military, the New York Police Department, and other departments, had to hold an impromptu press conference on the western edge of Manhattan, which had been reduced to ruins.

Tony Stark, who personally experienced this great battle, along with Natasha and others, became special guests at the press conference at the "invitation" of the government.

"That concludes the press conference regarding the Chitauri invasion. We will now move to the Q&A session, where we have invited Mr. Tony Stark, Iron Man, as our special guest to answer your questions."

talking.

A New York councilman who had miraculously survived the war turned and handed the microphone to Tony Stark, who still had a bandage on his face.

The moment Tony Stark appears.

A large group of reporters immediately pressed the shutter of their cameras.

For a moment, the camera flashes were so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.

Although Iron Man's performance faltered somewhat in the later stages of the battle against the terrifying abomination, the reporters present did not forget his heroic act of going against the tide and single-handedly confronting the Chitauri army at the very beginning of the portal's opening.

Tony is no stranger to press conferences.

He raised his right hand in a gesture.

After blocking the blinding light from the camera flashes.

Tony casually pointed to a reporter he found agreeable and prepared to answer his question.

Unexpectedly, Tony Stark was almost stumped by the first question the other party asked.

"Mr. Stark, during this Chitauri invasion, you urged us to take refuge in underground bunkers and shelters to avoid the nuclear missile launched at New York. Do you know why the government waited until after the war to launch that missile at New York?"

The reporter asked the question.

Without waiting for Tony Stark's reply.

The New York senator, who had just stepped down from the stage, immediately rushed forward and snatched the microphone from Tony's hand, saying, "In fact, the original intention of that nuclear bomb was to eliminate the Chitauri behind that portal. However, what the federal government didn't expect was that before the nuclear bomb arrived, the portal to the Chitauri stronghold had been closed thanks to the efforts of Iron Man and the others. So, it was just an accident..."

The reporter was not convinced by the New York City councilman's answer.

He even produced a satellite image showing the launch time of the nuclear warhead.

"An accident? Ha! According to satellite footage, the portal over New York was already destroyed and was shrinking and collapsing before the nuclear missile was even launched. Based on the speed at which that portal was collapsing, it was impossible for the nuclear missile to have entered it before it disappeared. So are you saying that the federal government is a bunch of idiots who waste taxpayers' money and can't see this?"

As a fellow New Yorker, that senior reporter from the Global Times was at the forefront of the battle, remotely filming the situation in New York.

That is why I almost died in the nuclear bomb launched by the government.

That's why the reporter was so angry.

When questioned by reporters, the New York City councilman broke out in a cold sweat.

This is not a good question to answer.

However, to save face for the government, he could only offer a forced explanation:

"It really was just an accident. Nobody knows why that portal collapsed so quickly. Besides the invading Chitauri, we were also facing the threat of a powerful monster."

In response to the New York councilman's explanation, another reporter seized the opportunity to coldly retort: ​​"So, the federal government's main purpose in launching the nuclear missiles was to deal with that terrible monster? But in order to deal with that monster, could the federal government disregard the lives of millions of New York citizens and launch nuclear missiles?"

If it weren't for the six-winged angel's rescue, tens of millions of people in New York would have perished under that nuclear bomb.

This question is a million times more pointed than the previous reporter's statement; a poor answer could trigger a massive riot.

By then, he will certainly become the target of the federal government's blame-shifting.

In order to avoid being unfairly blamed.

The New York councilman rolled his eyes and fainted.

Tony Stark scoffed at the New York councilman who was feigning unconsciousness, then said, "Clearly, this guy doesn't want to answer that question, so please ask something else!"

Faced with the shameless New York City councilman who pretended to faint, the reporters present didn't have much of a solution.

After a short silence.

Another reporter asked, "Mr. Stark, according to the satellite footage we captured, the one who summoned the six-winged angel and resolved the nuclear crisis was none other than the miracle magician, Lord Arryn. Given your relationship with him, did you already know this about his identity?"
